I do this as well so I can replace the right-button-popup-menu, and get
tooltips on a tab. I don't think you can easily pass the event on, since
notebook uses a single eventbox for all the tabs.

I get around it by spotting left clicks myself in the event callback on
the tab, and then calling gtk_notebook_set_page() explicitly. As usual,
I guess there's probably a better way :-)
